Scaffolding in Savick
Savick sits beside Savick Brook, the waterway that carries the Millennium Ribble Link between the Lancaster Canal and the River Ribble on Preston's west side. The area is mainly postwar semis and family homes, and being about ten minutes from our base means we can survey quickly for roof repairs, chimney work, fascias and solar panel scaffolds.

No obligation. We usually reply the same day.
Most Savick homes have drives or gardens, so scaffolds usually stand on private land, and where one must occupy a footway on the busier through roads we obtain the Lancashire County Council licence, £42 per 7 days with at least two working days notice, as part of the job. We are about ten minutes away, scaffolds are erected to TG20:21 by CISRS carded teams and inspected at least every 7 days, and Preston City Council is the planning authority for any underlying works. From Savick we also cover Lea next door, Ingol and the Cottam estates.

Scaffolding in Savick — your questions answered
How much does scaffolding cost in Savick?
As a guide, prices start from around £450 for a single elevation on a typical Savick semi, with most jobs between £600 and £900 for one side and £850 to £1,200 for a full two storey scaffold. Chimney scaffolds start from around £400 and solar scaffolds from £300, typically £600 to £1,200. We price every job after a free survey, our quotes state whether VAT is included, and the price covers transport, erection, the hire period and dismantling.
Do I need to tell my neighbours before scaffolding goes up?
There is no legal duty to notify neighbours when the scaffold stands wholly on your own property, though on Savick's semi detached streets a friendly heads up is sensible, particularly for gable scaffolds close to the boundary. It only becomes a legal matter if the scaffold must stand on or oversail their land, or if the underlying works are notifiable under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, which the scaffold alone never triggers. We can make that approach for you where a job needs a little of next door's side.
Do I need a licence for scaffolding on the pavement or road in Savick?
Only if the scaffold stands on or oversails the public highway, including the footway outside your home. Under Section 169 of the Highways Act 1980 the licence comes from Lancashire County Council before erection, the fee is £42 per 7 days, at least two working days notice is required and £5 million public liability insurance is the minimum accepted, which we carry. Most Savick scaffolds sit on private drives and gardens, so in practice licences only come up on homes fronting the busier through roads, and we handle the application when they do.
